�Despite "overpoweringly negative" responses and "rampant noncompliance" of some Roman Catholics to Pope Paul VI's 1968 Humanae Vitae, which condemns contraception use, some Catholic leaders in the Detroit area ar increasingly promoting the encyclical letter, the Detroit News reports. Some priests in the area aforementioned church members are expressing a growing interest in the document's teachings (Krupa, Detroit News, 8/20). "Humanae Vitae," which translates to "On Human Life," is a text file that says most Catholics should abstain from victimisation "artificial birth control" (Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 5/12).
A conference on Humanae Vitae is scheduled for next month at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Janet Smith, a professor at the seminary, aforementioned, "Our purpose is to deepen the understanding of the teaching, so that it will be accepted by Catholics, and to make them better defenders of it." She added that the seminary too is "trying to meet those world Health Organization have jilted it to reconsider and hopefully to accept it."
Some surveys have shown that more than 90% of sexually active Catholic women have used some form of birth control, and about the same share of Catholics believe the church should permit members to use condoms and oral contraceptive method. However, Robert McClory, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Detroit, aforesaid the jr. generations "non involved with the vividness of the introduction of Humanae Vitae" view the document as a "young approach" to sexuality. He said that the matter most a great deal is elevated in marriage ceremony preparation courses, adding that some lester Willis Young couples are beginning to show a willingness to follow the encyclical (Detroit News, 8/20).

Amy Winehouse Hospitalized!
In a not so shocking development, troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been taken to a London hospital after a mysterious fainting incident at her home.
"Amy was at home this afternoon when she briefly fainted," explains the Grammy winner's rep, Tracey Miller. "Fortunately, her manager's assistant was there to stop her falling. She quickly recovered and her father Mitch took her to hospital as a precaution."
According to reports, Amy is currently getting tests to determine the cause of the fainting, and her reps say she doing better, and that she may be kept overnight for further observation.
This is the 24-year-old's second hospitalization in less than a year. Last August, Amy was admitted for "severe exhaustion," causing many to speculate it was a rehab stint.

Dmx - Dmxs Defamation Case Is Dismissed
LATEST: Rapper DMX has seen a defamation lawsuit against him dropped after a judge ruled the star was not at fault for missing a scheduled court hearing in January (08).
The Party Up (Up In Here) MC - real name Earl Simmons - was forced to pay out $1.5 million (GBP750,000) to the mother of his child, after failing to turn up to a Maryland court earlier this year (11Jan08) to defend himself against allegations of defamation.
Simmons was sued by Monique Wayne for defamation of character in 2006 after the star claimed in a interview with American magazine Sister 2 Sister that he was raped by the woman during a hotel stay in Baltimore in 2003.
But the star was given a reprieve on Friday (16May08) after Maryland Judge Thomas P. Smith agreed the star was unaware he was due in court, reports AllHipHop.com.
The 37-year-old hired The Murphy Firm to contest the ruling.
Hassan Murphy, a managing partner of the company, says, "Today a very large judgment was vacated by Judge Smith.
"The judge clearly agreed with us that Mr. Simmons was never properly notified and therefore he threw out the judgment."
But Simmons is still mired by legal drama - earlier this month (May08) he was arrested on numerous motor vehicle charges. In a separate incident, Simmons pleaded not guilty to various felony drug charges and animal cruelty charges.

Indiana Jones rides into Cannes film festival
Whip-wielding archaeologist Indiana Jones rides into Cannes on Sunday, with star Harrison Ford, director Steven Spielberg and creator George Lucas hoping to avoid a critical lashing.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the hotly anticipated follow up to the third chapter of the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade released 19 years ago.
With a red-carpet world premiere likely to be watched by thousands of fans in the Riviera resort and hundreds of reporters and reviewers, the Cannes launch guarantees maximum media exposure as well as intense critical scrutiny.
In 2006 The Da Vinci Code was showcased in Cannes and received a mauling from the critics.
While the cool reaction did not prevent it making an estimated $US760 million at the worldwide box office, it was an uncomfortable opening for the movie.
"It's always fun to come to Cannes," Lucas told reporters at a press event organised, unusually, before the first screening of the film.
"It's a nice place when it's not raining," he added, referring to cool and wet weather during the festival this year.
But he added that the risk of negative reviews from the festival's notoriously picky critics was "probably higher" than a launch in, say, Los Angeles, New York or London.
'TOMATOES THROWN'
Lucas also expected a backlash from the public, recalling how unpopular he was with many fans when he revived the original Star Wars franchise with the 1999 movie Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
"I explained to Steven when we sat down on this, I said ... when you do a film that's this anticipated, people have a tendency to believe it's going to be the second coming and no matter what you give them they're going to be disappointed.
"We're all going to get people throwing tomatoes at us. But it's a fun movie to make. We love it."
Ford was also confident the fourth Indiana Jones installment would wow viewers.
"We have a degree of confidence that it will be an experience that people will enjoy," the 65-year-old said, adding that there had been no attempt to hide his age.
The story of the Crystal Skull is set in 1957, 19 years on from the plot of the third movie in a franchise which has made over $1 billion at the global box office in 1980s dollar terms.
Ford teams up again with Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, his love interest in the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Shia LaBeouf also stars, and Australian actress Cate Blanchett plays Soviet agent Irina Spalko.
Asked if he, Spielberg and Ford were planning a fifth Indiana Jones movie, Lucas replied: "Harrison, Steven and I haven't talked about it. We can't do it unless I can come up with a good idea, which I haven't."
